fviz_pca: Visualize Principal Component Analysis

In factoextra: Extract and Visualize the Results of Multivariate Data Analyses

Description

Principal component analysis (PCA) reduces the dimensionality of multivariate data, to two or three that can be visualized graphically with minimal loss of information. fviz_pca() provides ggplot2-based elegant visualization of PCA outputs from: i) prcomp and princomp [in built-in R stats], ii) PCA [in FactoMineR], iii) dudi.pca [in ade4] and epPCA [ExPosition].

• fviz_pca_ind(): Graph of individuals

• fviz_pca_var(): Graph of variables

• fviz_pca_biplot(): Biplot of individuals and variables

• fviz_pca(): An alias of fviz_pca_biplot()

Note that, fviz_pca_xxx() functions are wrapper arround the core function fviz(), whih is also a wrapper arround the function ggscatter() [in ggpubr]. Therfore, further arguments, to be passed to the function fviz() and ggscatter(), can be specified in fviz_pca_ind() and fviz_pca_var().

Usage

fviz_pca(X, ...)

fviz_pca_ind(
  X,

Arguments

X	an object of class PCA [FactoMineR]; prcomp and princomp [stats]; dudi and pca [ade4]; expOutput/epPCA [ExPosition].
...	Additional arguments. in fviz_pca_ind() and fviz_pca_var(): Additional arguments are passed to the functions fviz() and ggpubr::ggpar(). in fviz_pca_biplot() and fviz_pca(): Additional arguments are passed to fviz_pca_ind() and fviz_pca_var().
axes	a numeric vector of length 2 specifying the dimensions to be plotted.
geom	a text specifying the geometry to be used for the graph. Allowed values are the combination of c("point", "arrow", "text"). Use "point" (to show only points); "text" to show only labels; c("point", "text") or c("arrow", "text") to show arrows and texts. Using c("arrow", "text") is sensible only for the graph of variables.
geom.ind, geom.var	as geom but for individuals and variables, respectively. Default is geom.ind = c("point", "text), geom.var = c("arrow", "text").
repel	a boolean, whether to use ggrepel to avoid overplotting text labels or not.
habillage	an optional factor variable for coloring the observations by groups. Default value is "none". If X is a PCA object from FactoMineR package, habillage can also specify the supplementary qualitative variable (by its index or name) to be used for coloring individuals by groups (see ?PCA in FactoMineR).
palette	the color palette to be used for coloring or filling by groups. Allowed values include "grey" for grey color palettes; brewer palettes e.g. "RdBu", "Blues", ...; or custom color palette e.g. c("blue", "red"); and scientific journal palettes from ggsci R package, e.g.: "npg", "aaas", "lancet", "jco", "ucscgb", "uchicago", "simpsons" and "rickandmorty". Can be also a numeric vector of length(groups); in this case a basic color palette is created using the function palette.
addEllipses	logical value. If TRUE, draws ellipses around the individuals when habillage != "none".
col.ind, col.var	color for individuals and variables, respectively. Can be a continuous variable or a factor variable. Possible values include also : "cos2", "contrib", "coord", "x" or "y". In this case, the colors for individuals/variables are automatically controlled by their qualities of representation ("cos2"), contributions ("contrib"), coordinates (x^2+y^2, "coord"), x values ("x") or y values ("y"). To use automatic coloring (by cos2, contrib, ....), make sure that habillage ="none".
fill.ind, fill.var	same as col.ind and col.var but for the fill color.
col.ind.sup	color for supplementary individuals
alpha.ind, alpha.var	controls the transparency of individual and variable colors, respectively. The value can variate from 0 (total transparency) to 1 (no transparency). Default value is 1. Possible values include also : "cos2", "contrib", "coord", "x" or "y". In this case, the transparency for the individual/variable colors are automatically controlled by their qualities ("cos2"), contributions ("contrib"), coordinates (x^2+y^2, "coord"), x values("x") or y values("y"). To use this, make sure that habillage ="none".
select.ind, select.var	a selection of individuals/variables to be drawn. Allowed values are NULL or a list containing the arguments name, cos2 or contrib: name: is a character vector containing individuals/variables to be drawn cos2: if cos2 is in [0, 1], ex: 0.6, then individuals/variables with a cos2 > 0.6 are drawn. if cos2 > 1, ex: 5, then the top 5 individuals/variables with the highest cos2 are drawn. contrib: if contrib > 1, ex: 5, then the top 5 individuals/variables with the highest contrib are drawn
col.quanti.sup	a color for the quantitative supplementary variables.
col.circle	a color for the correlation circle. Used only when X is a PCA output.
gradient.cols	vector of colors to use for n-colour gradient. Allowed values include brewer and ggsci color palettes.
label	a text specifying the elements to be labelled. Default value is "all". Allowed values are "none" or the combination of c("ind", "ind.sup", "quali", "var", "quanti.sup"). "ind" can be used to label only active individuals. "ind.sup" is for supplementary individuals. "quali" is for supplementary qualitative variables. "var" is for active variables. "quanti.sup" is for quantitative supplementary variables.
invisible	a text specifying the elements to be hidden on the plot. Default value is "none". Allowed values are the combination of c("ind", "ind.sup", "quali", "var", "quanti.sup").
title	the title of the graph

Value

a ggplot
